Pete, I have a Cohiba Siglo VI that has been aging for a couple of years AND the HUGE A sized Opus X cigar (9+ x 47) that has been aging for a LONG time (one from the first batch that Fuente released whenever that was in the late 90's) waiting in the humidor for me when I get off of ciggy probation.

Long story short, let's not turn this thread into an anti smoking campaign, this thread was started for those who enjoy a great cup of coffee and a fine cigar, or anywhere in between.

I am enjoying an El Triunfador Robusto with a cup of cheap and bland Target coffee. I just got back from the cigar shop and picked up a couple of Quesada Oktoberfest Kurz's, a Quesada Daga Salamon, a L'At 52 and finally Four Kicks Mule Kick EL.

I love coffee and a cigar. I buy dunkin donuts beans and grind fresh daily. If i get a chance to enjoy a cigar with it, usually a Montecristo #2, a Hoyo de Nicaragua, or a Padron 1926 anniversario. I have some Romeo y Julietta i have been aging for the last 10 years or so i am kind of anxious to try.

Either of the Padron anniversary lines are VERY nice. They are right up there with the upper end Fuentes like Opus, Don Carlos, etc, and early Dominican Davidoffs as far as the consistently best non-Cuban smokes that I have tried.

I've been reading about the brand Quesada ever since I dived back into cigars and this was my first. I have to say that this is right on par with the Illusione 68 if not a little better. Rock solid medium to full-bodied smoke with lots of rich flavors, no bitterness or harshness.
